This post is misleading. This scenario will only happen after all the ice is melted in Antarctica causing a >200ft sea level rise, which would take at least a couple millenia of extreme global warming to happen. There will be beachfront property slipping into the sea by 2075 with a lot of ecological and economic consequences involved, the NOAA has given us a neat little tool for visualizing what's to come. https://coast.noaa.gov/slr/#/layer/slr

    1. Sorry I had to do a ninja edit: the original post I stole this from didn't have the text on the image, but was rather a retweet of text post with this image (e.g., nested post)

    I see, the meme makes a lot more sense now. I was like this isn’t a meme it’s just a map of the future of Florida lol.

    That said this seems very extreme and exaggerated for 2075. Sea level rise is one of the slowest aspects of climate change. Generally the worst case is thought to be about 2 meters by 2100 which is significant but not enough to affect non-coastal areas.

    For fun I did a quick check and based on GEBCO elevation data this looks like about 20m sea rise (I'm guessing exactly -- I assume whoever made the image picked a round number).

    Hacked-together graphic showing Florida with sea level rise causing approximately the same coastline as the OP.

    I could have posted what 2m looks like but at this scale it just looks like current Florida.

    20m is if I remember correctly about what the melting of the greenland glacier will cause, which is pretty much locked in already. It will not be 2075 for sure, but probably this millenium.

    2075

    And likely much earlier.

    Due to the nature of science and how any predictions and projections it makes needs to be couched in exceedingly conservative tones, it has become a running gag in climate science that everything will happen “much sooner than expected”. Because invariably, it does. Sometime hundreds of years sooner than expected.

    Hell, it was first thought that the AMOC wouldn’t collapse for centuries, and now more accurate projections put it as being sometime between 2025 and 2085, with a “most likely due date” of some time in the early 2050s. And this is still an exceedingly conservative estimate. Who wants to bet that it’ll happen much sooner than even that?

    Climate change isn't real, it's the democrat water machines they have in the ocean to punish red states, dummy.

    Looking at the bright side, there will be lots of newly formed artificial reefs available for the remaining fish. Hoping those fish can find a way to adapt to the warmer waters though.

    Along the bottom right you'll see West P[alm] Beach. That's where Mar-a-lago is.

    Now by 2075 Trump will be dead, as will likely all of his children except the youngest ones like Baron who will be roughly Trump's current age.

    This is also why many "current generation" folks don't care about climate change. They will not be alive to see it, since people just don't live that long.

    Basically none of those you hope will suffer the consequences of their actions will.

    I'd much prefer the Floridians stay in Florida. We need to stop climate change before the Floridians move in next door.

    This map fails to depict unfathomably massive amount of seaweed that the ocean is going to push in. The ocean doesn't stop pushing in, ever. The shit will be 100 feet high.

    Putting almost all the major cities underwater is only gonna make what's left more red.

    If it’s not visibly happening right now, then they won’t believe you until their house is underwater.
